Jonis Rucksack, the new short-film by Paul Ploberger, winner of the ZF Short-Film Award 2023, test screening, an exclusive first!

Last year, the Austrian director won the ZF Short Film Award with his short film Naked Men in the Woods. For the young film-maker, the prize money of 15,000 euros provided the incentive to make a new short-film, with the working title Jonis Rucksack. And while the film has not yet been completed, audiences at the Friedrichshafen Film Festival have the opportunity to preview it at a test screening. This very special and rare format offers audiences an insight into Ploberger’s creative process. The film-maker hopes to gain valuable feedback during the live broadcast that follows the screening and be able to share his first impressions with the audience.

Jonis Rucksack is about Lena, a young woman whose boyfriend Joni dies while travelling in Georgia. She travels to that country and finds out that Joni may have committed suicide. In disbelief, Lena decides to reconstruct Joni’s last few days in Georgia. During this process, she makes the acquaintance of art student Nana and learns that she and Joni shared a secret.
